The array itself doesn't have an encryption option. You'll have to use some host-based application/driver that would encrypt the data as it's written on the (virtual) disks.
We saw Netapp Datafort with either iSCSI or FC connectivity, iSCSI is limited to 1Gbps... and also single encryption key while we would need multiple ones...
Brocade and HP seems to provides FC fabrics with encryption, we'll look into that.
NetApp DataFort has long been EOL. We have already replaced all our DataForts with Bloombase on PowerEdge. There is a technical note here www.dellstorage.com/.../DownloadAsset.aspx

NetApp sells an in-band appliace (DataFort), there are others. None of them are cheap or easy to maintain/troubleshoot.

Thanks for the answers.

I wonder how cloud providers tackle this ?!
